Pedagogic strategy
Definition
Pedagogic Strategies can be defined at 3 levels:
- General instructional designs
- Designs applied to a teaching/learning unit (e.g. a lesson or a course module)
- Pedagogic methods that are part of a wider design and that we discuss elsewhere.
Effective course designs (or teachers) may make use of different teaching strategies or methods.
According to Dick et al. (2001) “instructional strategy is used generally to cover the various aspects of sequencing and organizing the content, specifying learning activities, and deciding how to deliver the content and activities’ (p. 184).”
Major Schools of Instructional Designs
- this section remains to be written, below is just a little "stub"
Instructional design draws a lot from general pedagogical theory.
There are some major schools of thought (some more operational than others) that we describe in the following articles.
- Constructionism
- Constructivism
- Inquiry-based learning
- Objectivism
- Problem-based learning
- Project-based learning
- Situated learning
- Socio-constructivism
Note, that these concepts also may represent learning theories. There is an overlap between theories that explain how people learn and how one could bring people to learn. This is particularly true regarding larger families of thought like constructivism.
